    I HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST !!!! Me and my fiance have been looking forward to checking this place out for months and it did not disappoint ! If you’re a hugeeee Demon Slayer fan, ITS SO WORTH IT ! If you’re coming just for food prob skip (the menu was very limited just ramen and a very expensive infinity castle meal box) so we just opted for the drinks which come with a commemorative themed cup ! The staff were so kind and sweet and the overall experience was sooo immersive, definitely one of the best themed cafes I’ve been to!
